SURER ELECTION
AS
By the election of many of 1U
citizens to high offices In the busi
ness and commercial world, Medford
Is rapidly assuming a position of
leadership In the Pacific northwest
' " 1 WW ff
Paul A. Scherer
and on the Pacific coast, it was
pointed out today by chamber of
commerce officials.
Election of Medford men to re
sponsible positions in organizations
throughout the Pacific coast not only
Is a distinct compliment to the abil
ity of the men themselves but Is an
honor which should be appreciated
by everyone living In Medford. Many
Instances can be cited of local busi
ness men who are officials in organi
zations and their efforts bring vnlu
able publicity to the city.
Recent election of Paul A. Scherer
to the presidency of the Pacific
Northwest Advisory Board Is probably
one of the highest honors conferred
on a Medford man in a long time,
chamber officials stated this morn
ing, and Medford should be proud
that one of its leading citizens has
been elevated to the head of one of
the largest organizations of shippers
and railroad officials on the Pacific
coast.
In larger centers of "the Pacific
northwest the activities of the advi
sory board are watched with great
interest, particularly by fruit men,
lumbermen, and those responsible for
creating a vast amount of tonnage
and It Is believed that more active
Interest will be taken locally In its
future deliberations with the presi
dency now in the able hands of Mr.
Scfcerci.
Mr. Scherer has also recently been
elected president of the Northwest
Fruit Industries, Inc., which It is
pointed out by local fruit Interests
is a due recognition of his energies
find ability in his chosen work. Ths
also is another example of the leader
chip which Medford is supplying in
the business world of the Pacific
northwest.
A city is often Judged by its citi
zens and Mr. Scherer and other local
men supplying the leadership in
these regional organizations the in
evitable results will be that consider
ably more attention will be focused
on our city to the ultimate benefit
of all who are in business here.
